"Do y' tink we should go look for John?" asked Remy.
"No," said Piotr. "Let's turn on the radio. We'll listen for a strange occurrence with fire and that's where we'll find him."
Remy nodded. He walked over to the radio and turned it on to the news station. Then the two of them sat down at the kitchen table and started to eat their breakfast.
Chapter 17- Talks
"What's wrong sugah?" asked Rogue when the three of them were sitting on the couch in the mini living room. Wanda was in the middle of the three of them, Rogue was on her right and Kitty on her left.
"I broke up with John," said a still crying Wanda.
"What?" said Rouge.
"Why?" asked Kitty.
Wanda sighed and explained everything that happened in the car ride yesterday.
"Aww you poor thing," said Kitty. She and Rogue enveloped Wanda in a hug.
"Thanks guys," said Wanda. They stayed like that for a few more moments until Wanda composed herself.
"What should I do guys?" asked Wanda after she was composed. "I mean, I miss him. I couldn't sleep at all last night, I'm so used to falling asleep in his arms."
Rogue and Kitty looked at each other and shrugged.
"Apologize maybe?" asked Kitty.
"Why should I apologize to him?" asked Wanda. "He wronged me! Weren't you guys listening? What did I do?"
"Ya broke up with him and caused both of ya ta be miserable," said Rogue.
"What are you talking about? He's not miserable," said Wanda.
"Did you like, see him in the kitchen?" asked Kitty. "He was drinking orange juice for goodness sake. John never drinks orange juice."
Wanda shrugged.
"And as mad as ya were, ah don't think ya should have broken up with him," said Rogue. "Ah mean, this is a relatively small thing to get mad at each other over. If you guys were actually cheating on each other I'd understand, but…"
"I didn't mean to," said Wanda. "One thing was said, other things were said, soon we were yelling… I lost my temper." She groaned.
"How do I fix this?" she said.
"Just apologize and tell him you want him back," said Kitty.
"I'm not apologizing," she said stubbornly.
Rogue and Kitty sighed.
"Fahne," said Rogue. "We're not gonna force ya ta do somethin' ya don't want ta. If ya need ta talk, we're heah." She and Kitty stood up and left.
Wanda curled up on the couch and started to cry again.

"Just outside the forest there is a young boy sitting against a tree playing with a real live fireball. Police are still trying to figure out what to do…"
Remy and Piotr jumped up.
"Dat's our cue," said Remy.
"We have to get him out there before he causes trouble," said Piotr.
The two of them quickly grabbed their stuff. Remy grabbed the keys to the RAV4. Remy jumped into the driver's seat while Piotr got into the passenger's side. Two seconds later Remy was tearing down the road.
(-strawberrie-)
When they got to the forest they saw John sitting against a tree. He was playing with a fireball, rolling it from hand to hand and making shapes and faces out of it. Police were surrounding the area. They stayed a good distance away. They were all talking and watching John warily.
"We need a distraction," said Remy. Piotr looked at him pointedly.
"Non, non, NON!" said Remy.
"Yes," said Piotr. "We all made a deal. Whoever looses the rock, paper, scissors game is the first to be chosen to make a distraction. John's usually the one that has to do the distraction, but he's not here, so he can't. You're next."
"Merde," said Remy. "Fine. Remy hopes John appreciates dis."
(-strawberrie-)
"AAAAIIIIEEEEEE!" screamed Remy. He ran around and through the police and the watching citizens. Startled everyone turned to look at him, and then wished they hadn't.
The only thing Remy was wearing was bright pink and lacy. It was a woman's underwear.
He was wearing blue colored contacts, and he had sprayed his hair blond with temporary hair dye.
Everyone looked at him strangely. The girls openly stared, some of them behind their fingers, while the guys tried to look anywhere but Remy.
Remy kept running around them, screaming wildly. As he ran made sure that everyone was looking at him. He nodded, but you could only have told if you were looking for it. Slowly, Piotr ran over to John, grabbed him by the collar and started to run off.
"Shouldn't we arrest him?" asked one police officer about Remy.
"Yes, I think he's breaking some law," said another. They started to run after Remy, but he threw a glowing CD at them. (1) They looked at it curiously. On the top it said "Run losers." As soon as they read that it blew up. The police officers flew back, once they realized what had happened they grabbed their guns and stood up. They looked around confused when they didn't find Remy or John.
(-strawberrie-)
"Nice job Remy," said Piotr with a grin as the three of them got back into the car.
"Shut up," said Remy as he started the car. He had changed back into his clothes and had taken the contacts he had on out.
"What's goin' on John?" asked Remy.
John sighed. "I messed up mates," he said. "I messed up real bad."
"What do you mean?" asked Piotr.
"Wanda broke up with me," said John.
"What?" said both Piotr and Remy.
John explained everything that happened.
"I haven't gotten a wink of sleep," said John. "How can I without Wanda in my arms?"
"Go apologize t' de femme," said Remy.
"Why?" asked John. "She broke up with me."
"So?" said Piotr. "You got her mad in the first place."
John didn't say anything.
"Look, it b' obvious that y' two still want each other," said Remy. "Why don't y' jus' apologize and go back t' bangin' each other?"
"I am not apologizing," said John in the same way that Wanda said it about thirty minutes earlier.
Remy sighed as he pulled up into their driveway.
"Do what y' want," said Remy.
"If you don't want her, then don't do anything," said Piotr as they all got out of the car. "But if you do, just do something."
(-strawberrie-)
"Just now, as police were trying to figure out what to do the the boy playing with fire, a man wearing nothing but a… bright pink, lacy, woman's underwear ran around them. When police decided to arrest him he threw a glowing CD player at them that exploded within seconds. When police looked up Mr. Bright Pink Underwear and Mr. Plays With Fire were gone. Police suspect that the two were working together. Details about the two at nine…"
(-strawberrie-)
After they entered the house John went downstairs to the mini living room because he had left one of his lighters down there.
When he got down there he saw Wanda lying on the couch.
Wanda, having heard someone come in, lifted her head.
Their eyes met, and for a second they just stayed there, staring at each other.
Then, without saying anything, Wanda looked away. John looked away too. They stayed there, both of them looking away, wanting to say something, but too prideful to.
Finally, John turned around and walked back upstairs.
(-no more strawberries-)
(1) Remy didn't throw a charged playing card for the same reason he was in the ridiculous get up and with contacts. He didn't want to be recognized. Even though no one knows him here, he was supposed to be a distraction. He could have easily dressed as he usually does, but what if Chris and them hurt the girls and he needs to go and kill Chris and them? Then Chris and them would know that it was Remy who helped John escape and send him to jail.
This chapter was originally a part of the last chapter (Problems) But I decided to cut it out, and make it it's own chapter so that Problems wasn't soo long. Well, nothing else to say. Next chapter!
